KeoStationary Space Station / Lifter (Ship and Mission Log)

[Mustangrande]

After quite a bit of trial and error, I\'ve managed to orbit my first pair of space stations; one in low Kerbin Orbit (LKO 1) and one in KeoStationary Orbit. (KSO 1) The hard part was not launching the station, but developing a method of staging the rocket that didn\'t leave any debris in orbit.

PICS:

Sitting on the launch pad.

LKO 1 in Low Kerbin Orbit

KSO 1 after ditching the first stage, circularizing the orbit.

KSO 1 in Keostationary orbit, prior to release.

Launch vehicle departing from KSO 1, shortly after release.

Lift stage retrofire, for return to Kerbin.

Second lift / Reentry stage, during landing. Not needed to attain orbit. Chutes ripped the stage apart upon deployment. Unmanned pod deemed expendable.

Map view of both space stations. Note the lack of debris in orbit.

Class file included. I use a heavily modded KSP, so in addition to stock parts, expect to need the Novapunch pack, both C7 packs, Down Under, MechJeb, KOSMOS, Possibly DSM, and wherever those radial chutes came from. I may have missed something, but that\'s the bulk of mods used.

Would it be possible to be a bit more specific as to which mod packs you used? I\'m still learning my way around these parts.

What is DSM?

Deep space mission pack

[Houston we have a problem]

guys here is a the list of all the parts this uses, only kosmos novapunch and i think its the down under pack
